Zoo with Giraffes only.

Howth 2 - an exact replica of Howth, on the Southside.

Legendary stuff.

Its viral advertising to launch a new MyHome.ie type site

Move along people, nothing to see here.

If you don't look, ads disappear.

Not at all, just curious as to what it was pimping. Too slick a site to have just been a kids hoax.

According to this, a Dutch company by the name of Funda have bought this site, and may be simply looking to pimp the site - as previously suggested.

A quick search of google reveals feck all about these Wasaki developers. Ah well.. a Guinness Pint shaped island may have been fun too

Looks like an Ad for GTA4 tbh. Even the name. That would be cool.

Yep. Funda-whatever.
But this is Ireland, so they won't get anywhere with that rubbish sounding name.

Well they've also got banner adverts here on boards.ie so at least they're paying for their publicity.

Aw. I'm all sad that this isnt real. So I'm going to undertake this project myself. Construction will start on the first island this coming saturday. Problem is, I've already used up my rockery and three bags of peat moss, and I dont where to get more rubble. If anyone would like to donate some stones, or even a few spoons of topsoil to the project, I'll see you on Sandymount beach on Saturday morning.

My islandswill be shaped like a huge pair of boobs.
